Feel like a first timer, my son is 11!

geordiegal · May 20

Found out I was pregnant last week, tested 5 days before my period was due and faint line. Ended up with left sided pain so had to go to the early pregnancy unit, they scanned me but couldn't see anything. Had bloods drawn on Thursday and hcg was 237 then Sunday and it was 935. I'm estimating from first day of last period I'm around 4 weeks 1 day today. They've asked me to go for a repeat scan on Friday just to try and see its in the right place and not ectopic, but I'm still unsure they'll see anything with me being so early. My son is 11, my step daughter is 6, and we are both 37 so decided it was a try now or not at all situation. I'd been on birth control for 10 years and we thought it would take a long time... and 2 months later here we are. We are very pleased but very anxious. I don't remember being so anxious with my first, I'm constantly checking myself for bleeding, I've becoming addicted to peeing on sticks even though I know that actually doesn't show much at all. As we are so early we've not told anyone so I've joined this just as somewhere to get support. I'm UK based and there doesn't seem to be many active forums (I lived on one 11 years ago when I was pregnant with my son and made great friends so hoping for the same again)

My son is also 11 and I feel like this is my first time all over again! I apparently remember nothing from my first pregnancy 😆. But im so excited- I'm healthier and wiser than I was in my young 20s. We tried for several years with several losses so this is truly a blessing.

I’m 10dpo and ttc (1st cycle) no positive test yet but wanted to scroll this feed in hopes I’ll be there soon. Anyway I wanted to add my son is 13 and his kids are 12,12 and 15 so it’ll definitely be a gap lol best of luck to all of you ladies:)

Yeah, I have an 8 and 9 year old and just found out I’m accidentally pregnant with number 3. I ended my period November 9th and I had super positive digital and test strip results which is crazy. I don’t even own any baby stuff anymore. I wonder if it’s gonna stick :(

My son is 12.5yo & it’s kinda crazy to think my first baby will be graduating high school when their sibling will be headed to kindergarten 😂 Congrats!

P.s. I also LIVED on an online forum when I was pregnant with my first. Back then I gave birth at 23yo & needed all the advice in the world because I was TERRIFIED.

I know the feeling. Our twins and our youngest are going to have an 18 year age gap. We also got 3 other children Who are 26, 23 and 20. So it feels like a life time ago.
